DIY SEAS Froy Mk1 inspired Standmount Loudspeakers Here I have a pair of very high quality DIY speakers with new old stock drivers. These are early SEAS Froy inspired design with SEAS W14CY001 Magnesium cone drivers, and SEAS H0532 metal dome tweeters. Professionally made adapted enclosures, and grilles are as new. They sound fantastic with amazing bass for size. Stands pictured are NOT included. Sizes: 475H x 180W x 280D Pickup only from Keysborough 3173. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash on pickup Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By erest 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $850 Date: Feb
Ambitious asking price at AUD 850 for a used Seas Froy Mk1-inspired pair—these DIY-inspired monitors, drawing from Seas' classic Froya drivers, typically trade used in AUD 400-600 range depending on condition and enclosure quality. Fresh builds or pristine originals might nudge higher, but without pristine proof, this feels steep for an unknown-condition listing; haggle down to AUD 500-550 if cosmetics and performance check out.
Buyers, verify driver integrity first—cone tears or surround rot are common in these 15+ year designs from foam degradation; test for voice coil rub by playing sweeps. Confirm both crossovers work cleanly (no phase issues), and ensure original grilles, binding posts, and any damping mods are included. Age these beasts gracefully, but skip if foam's crumbling.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
SEAS (Scandinavian Electro Acoustic Systems) is a Norwegian manufacturer with deep roots in European audio engineering. Founded in 1950 as a spin-off from the radio manufacturers Radionette and Tandberg, the company emerged from Jan Wessel's vision to produce loudspeaker drivers for his own radio sets. Designer C.C. Nørgaard Madsen joined as co-founder, bringing expertise that would establish SEAS as a leader in driver innovation. The company's heritage traces back further to the late 1920s, when Norwegian engineers at the Institute of Technology designed the first Norwegian electrodynamic loudspeaker drivers—a lineage SEAS has maintained for over seven decades.
SEAS specializes exclusively in loudspeaker drivers and finished loudspeakers, positioning itself as a pure-play audio component manufacturer rather than a diversified electronics brand. The company produces high-fidelity drivers across multiple ranges, including their Prestige, Excel, and Exotic product lines. Known for tailoring solutions to specific customer demands, SEAS has evolved from supplying standard drivers for consumer radio and television sets to crafting sophisticated components for the contemporary hi-fi market. The company has also expanded into the AV segment since 2011, establishing itself as an independent supplier of quality loudspeakers.
SEAS occupies a respected position in the mid-to-high-end audio market, valued for its exceptional quality-to-price ratio and engineering excellence. Based south of Oslo, the company maintains manufacturing capabilities and rigorous testing facilities, including an anechoic chamber. Among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts and professional integrators, SEAS commands recognition as a serious European driver manufacturer—neither mass-market nor ultra-premium, but rather a specialist brand where engineering integrity and acoustic performance drive product development.
